Furoshiki Origami

Product details

Furoshiki Origami combines two great Japanese traditions: the art of origami, or paper folding, and furoshiki, the beautifully decorated, eco-friendly cloths used to wrap and transport all kinds of things, including bento boxes of course! Each fully reversible Furoshiki Origami cloth can be folded to form one of two well-known characters from Japanese folklore.

Features

The Furoshiki Origami measures 50 cm (about 20") square. It's a great size for wrapping any of our bento boxes, including our long-format bento boxes such as Kimono Long, or our round bento boxes like the Owan Bento.
